<p>I'll have to put in my 2 cents for Merrell's as well. The Vibram sole stays good for a long time and I am only on my second pair in the last 3 years. They fit better than almost anything I have ever worn that I can recall ( I love my Vans for casual shoes though ) and seem to be built pretty tough.</p>

<p>Just Make Sure you try them on first and make sure they are comfortable.</p>
<p>Also make sure they have good grip.</p>
<p>No shoe is exactly 100% perfect in every condition. Icy Teepads , Thick Mud , running water and slimmy wood are tough conditions to play on , so be careful of where you stand and plant your feet.</p>

Merrell Maipo shoes are #1 in every shape form or fashion.<br />

I love them, they love me, 2 months and holding strong. I'm figuring by the wear I see so far I have about 4 to 5 more months on these.

The best disc golf shoes is a loaded statement....<br />
the ones great for disc golf R ones which the soles R molded up the side (so U can't peel the sole off), they have a toe-cap and R waterproof. The most important thing is that they fit well.... how R U going to throw good shots if your feet hurt?<br />
TRY THEM ON BEFORE U BUY THEM!!!!! (go to a store and try them on... then look for deals online.. or just get them at the store.. w/e)<br />
There R a ton of really good shoes out there. Trail running shoes…

There R a ton of really good shoes out there. Trail running shoes seem to be the ticket for disc golf. Vibram soles R good for when it's dry, but once the tees get wet the vibram soles R no bueno... they don't work well at all. The softer rubber soles have better grip.<br />
I really like the Keen Ochoco I used last yr through this spring (they R the best shoes I have used for disc golf, and I have used a lot of shoes... and blown-out a lot of shoes as well). They R super comfortable, have great grip and the best waterproofing I have had in a shoe. They lasted longer than any other shoe I have ever used... 5 months +<br />
Keen seems to have the most durable and comfortable shoes IMO.(and they support/ sponsor disc golfers, which is sweet!) Salamons are comfortable but don't hold-up to disc golf movements, the same goes for most other brands.<br />

I've paid more for way less of a shoe, these things are worth thier weight in gold, Donnie got an AWESOME deal! Good pivot and very "solid" feeling when trying to get good footing or in an akward stance- Awesome base for putting stance, I swear I putt noticably better with them, played on all surfaces and the some fairly aggressive, and even crappy (concrete popping off and rocks showing through) and pivot just fine.

I've paid more for way less of a shoe, these things are worth thier weight in gold, Donnie got an AWESOME deal! Good pivot and very "solid" feeling when trying to get good footing or in an akward stance- Awesome base for putting stance, I swear I putt noticably better with them, played on all surfaces and the some fairly aggressive, and even crappy (concrete popping off and rocks showing through) and pivot just fine. I will add that these shoes do have one downfall- wet wood (Donnie feel free to share your experience). Not branches or anything like that but for instance throwing from a wooden bridge in the rain, they can be VERY slick! I noticed this when I was walking across some old/semi scummy 2x6 wooden planks and decided that if running on wood like that a wrong step could result in a nasty spill, but not real sure if any shoes, short of metal cleats/ice spikes, would really grip that much better under the same circumstances. The sole is made by vibram and really can only be described as being like tire rubber (imagine slamming on the brakes on an old wooden bridge and sliding, but having superior traction otherwise).<br />
<br />
For me the fit was perfect, I wear an 11 in most shoes (sometimes a 10.5 in certain shoes that run small) so I tried on an 11, liked the fit of the 11's I tried on in the store, went home and ordered them in an 11 and the pair I got fit just as perfectly as the ones I tried on, no break in period, just plain perfect straight outta the box. Got 'em wet, waterproof as a mofo, had to take a stance in some mud (the muck kind that when you step into you're pretty much standing in water) and my feet stayed perfectly dry, I then proceded to walk to the nearby stream and swish my foot around in the water, almost to the knot in my laces to wash off all the nasty muck and feet never got wet or cold. Not sure bout you but after my feet get wet I feel like garbage. I hate the feeling of wet feet and this was one of the many selling points, for me, in purchasing these particular shoes and while I havent owned them for 10 years it seems like I will................
